Xianxia: Big Brother of Tianyong City-Chapter 57 - "Bai Yunqing, Furious Once Again!"

Chapter 57: “Bai Yunqing, Furious Once Again!”

“Twenty times!”

Xiao Yu couldn’t hide his excitement.

The acceleration in the flow of time meant his cultivation speed was now multiplied by twenty.

Swish!

From his storage pouch, a pile of high-grade spiritual stones flew out. The stones automatically assembled themselves into the shape of a lotus platform, creating a perfect foundation for cultivation.

“Well, let’s begin.”

Xiao Yu sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, holding a spiritual stone in each hand, and began circulating the Taiqing Tian Gang Mantra.

[Taiqing Tian Gang Mantra (太清天罡决): A powerful cultivation technique unique to Xiao Yu’s sect, used for energy absorption and spiritual refinement.]

If anyone had witnessed his extravagance, they would have been utterly shocked. Using so many high-grade spiritual stones for cultivation was simply unimaginable—it was wasteful beyond belief!

Buzz… Buzz…

As the mantra activated, waves of pure spiritual energy surged into Xiao Yu’s Golden Core, which hungrily absorbed the energy like a desert traveler finding water, growing stronger with every passing moment.

Time seemed to blur in the Primal Chaos Space, where Xiao Yu cultivated for over three hundred days. Outside, a mere ten days had passed.

After this intensive training, Xiao Yu’s cultivation reached the threshold of the late Golden Core stage. Only a final opportunity or breakthrough stood between him and the next level.

“It’s time to head to Wu Meng Spirit Valley,” Xiao Yu declared as he exited the Primal Chaos Space and appeared once again in the valley.

The Bewitching Formation remained intact, enveloping the valley in peace and quiet. Save for a few animals scurrying about, there were no intrusions.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yu dismantled the formation.

“When I reach Wu Meng Spirit Valley, I’ll first search for the necessary herbs. If I can refine this demon core into a pill, my chances of breaking through will greatly increase.”

Taking to the skies on his flying sword, Xiao Yu set his sights on his next destination.

Earlier, when Xiao Yu killed the thousand-year-old wolf demon, he claimed its corpse, including its demon core. He recalled the original novel, where Baili Tusu consumed a wolf demon’s core, resulting in a dramatic increase in power but also severe complications due to an eruption of demonic energy.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu possessed the Heavenly Fire Scripture, which not only contained powerful combat techniques but also detailed alchemy methods. Among them was a recipe for refining demon cores into pills, provided he could find the necessary auxiliary herbs.

Eighteen herbs were required in total. Sixteen of them were common, but two—Heavenly Ganoderma and Dragon Rock Fruit—were exceedingly rare.

Within the Burning Heaven Valley in the southern regions, the atmosphere was tense.

“You may refuse to cooperate for your own reasons, but surely, you’ll consider the future of your child and the survival of the Fox Qishan lineage?”

Bang!

The speaker slammed the door shut, his patience evidently exhausted. Bai Yunqing, the lord of Burning Heaven Valley, exited the prison with a shake of his head. His lengthy plea had fallen on deaf ears.

“Master.”

A melodious voice called out as a stunningly beautiful woman descended beside Bai Yunqing. She wore a light purple robe that accentuated her ethereal beauty.

“Yan’er,” Bai Yunqing greeted his favorite disciple, his mood improving at the sight of her.

“Master, I have urgent news to report.” The woman, Luo Yan, knelt gracefully, her expression grave.

“What is it?” Bai Yunqing’s tone turned serious, noticing her demeanor.

“While training in the restricted area, I heard the sound of a jade slip shattering. Upon investigating, I discovered…” Luo Yan hesitated, her voice faltering.

“Discovered what?” Bai Yunqing demanded, his face darkening at her hesitation.

“I found… the Grand Elder’s Life Jade Slip shattered.”

“What?!”

Bai Yunqing’s shock was palpable. His heart sank, and his face turned ashen.

The Life Jade Slip, a vital artifact tied to a cultivator’s soul, signified that Shangguan Ce, his Grand Elder, and a Nascent Soul powerhouse, had been killed.

“Unforgivable!” Bai Yunqing roared, his fury shaking the heavens. The once clear skies darkened, filled with rolling thunderclouds.

“Master, please calm down,” Luo Yan pleaded, bowing her head even lower. She was all too familiar with her master’s terrifying temper.

“Is it heaven’s will to deny me the Blazing Fire Mirror?” Bai Yunqing bellowed, glaring at the heavens in frustration.

It was he who had sent Shangguan Ce to retrieve the Blazing Fire Mirror. Now, not only had the mission failed, but he had also lost a trusted elder.

Buzz… Buzz…

The air around them rippled, heralding the arrival of another powerful presence.

“Why has Bai Yunqing become so enraged? Has something extraordinary occurred?”

A voice resonated as a figure stepped out from the void—a white-haired elder clad in azure robes. Despite his serene demeanor, his aura commanded attention.

“Hansu Zhenren!” Bai Yunqing acknowledged the visitor, his tone wary.

While both Burning Heaven Valley and Tianyong City were part of the righteous sects, they rarely interacted. Bai Yunqing and Hansu Zhenren had little personal connection.
